I know they can do the "surgery." I guess I'm just a little leery about buying something without testing it, even though I know it's an awesome bike at a great price.
I've made a lot of mistakes in buying my road bikes, so after ten years, I feel I am finally ready to be very "hands-on" with the process and actually know (at least a little) what I am talking about. I really made all of the mistakes I could have with bikes #1 and #2, as well as the one I have now (though this is solved). Well, I digress. I just think I need to work with a shop and try *a lot* of bikes before I plunk down the cash for my next purchase. Really, with everything I have learned from you guys, I feel very well prepared to deal with my next purchase.
